Sid Meier, The Civilized Tyrant: The Internet and The Massive Amount of Wealth for Sid due to Civfanatic's Support
Sid had a plan. YEs, yes there shall be a minor war. BUt the way to greatness lies in patience and GOLD! Fast Moblization of a Modern army will be key to success and profitable to boot.
We start by Sid researching
And the World was able to hear Sid's voice from ocean to ocean, continent to continent. The Empire of Civfanatics begane researching Plastics, it was obvious where Sid was going here.
To build an even more powerful Navy, yet another quest has been fulfilled
Every Aircraft Carrier cames out at Drill III, COmbat I allowing some BIG promotions from the City of KMadCandy. To create another massive Navy producing city Sid authorizes r rolo1 to begin constructing West Point which will build 10 XP naval units with a DryDock, ah the power of Charismatic in the Modern era Naval warfare!
The Moderate sized Armada was sent towards Western Ragnar
And war is waged against the backwards Viking
Rifles/Grenaders/Cavalry are no match for us and his cities begin to drop
Four we captured in total on this continent and were given over to
Winston Hughes
Quotey
TRJS
AND
TroytheFAce
In fact the entire segment tanks were airdropped to the City of TroytheFace in anticipation of a land assault against Brennus, but that is a tale for another segment.
Once tRagnar's 4 cities were captured he was left with two off-shore land masses which we headed towards.
Low on troops we had to heal and prepare to invade, however this gave Ragnar the opportunity to cringe like a beaten dog and become a Vassal of the Celtic Queen Boudica.
Let Boudica have her Man-Toy, she shall be out target sooner or later. For now Sid concentrates on Infrastructure, RAdio Wonders (Broadway fell), Military, and tech.
As we headed towards Computers, the City of MadScientist build a great Statue that was supposed to commemerate Sid but somehow ended up looking a lot like MAdScientist
rolleyes
Regardless of the facial features, the Citizans of the EMpire of Civfanatics were in Awe of it and any further rebellions of Anarchy due to Civic changes ceased.
With Sid's secret plan (OK, you can figure it out, but Sid aint spilling the beans) The City of Neal is instructed to try and pump out Great Merchants resulting in
Marvelous, that is a very large treasury Sid has acquired, thanks to all the loyal Support from the Civfanatic Community. Sid appreciates all the gold he has gotten from the Civfanatics and promises to offer a free scenario with the next version of Civilization for a modest fee of $10!
But onto bigger things, With The Christo Redentor built, the City of MadScientist waited 2 turns to start the Internet.
A change of civics was in order
Now with the loss of 5 happy faces (Barracks and representation) and obsoleting Ivory and Fur, we had to hike the culture slider up to 20%. Not a problem as the Citizens rejoices as the Civfanatics enjoyed a bit of decadent living before war started (and we worked on ravishing and plundering!). The points here are Universal Sufferage so Sid can BUY what he wants and Buearacracy to speed along the Internet. The draft is no longer of use here.
Also to help out on the happiness issue
Too bad we also lost out on the Eifel Tower!
Sid utilized Universal Sufferage to rush buy a lot of infrastructure
Notice all the cities with ONE turn left.
Once Sid finished Robotices for Mechanical Infantry we dropped the science slider to 0% and started accumulating massive amounts of gold, such as
Rather than rush buy infrastructure, at the moment we are upgrading every military units we have to Mechanical Infantry (Warriors included).
The City of MadScientist finishes
Allowing Sid to steal
Fascism
Medicine
Fission
Artillery
Rocketry
And with so many leaders, the chances of any one having a monopoly for any extended period of time is slim. Sid will basically just steal what others break their backs researching while he further increases his treasury.
We saved here, looking for massive unit upgrades, hoarding military in the City of TroytheFace, preparing another massive Armada, and finishing infrastructure (except beaker boosters which are irrelevant now).
Demographics
Note there are 5 empires that are fairly stronge
Justinian
Zara
Shaka
PAcal
Boudica
With only Justinian having more power numbers than us.
The Civfanatic Empire
So I am thinking of starting to pick off the weaker nations one by one. With such large power numbers I am sure these large agressive nations will be at each other's throats eventually and we shall simply pick them off one by one.
